My latest dashboard focuses on Rickey Henderson's record-breaking 1982 season. This viz includes my first use of a Sankey Chart and custom mapping. Feedback is always welcome!

If there's something you'd like me to build, please fill out this doc: 

June 15, 1923, a game between the Giants and the Reds took place. The player George Burns (1911-1925) did not have a good game, getting an out on every plate appearance. The last flyball he hit is counted as a Sacrifice Fly on the box score (found here: ), so that he had 4 PAs but only 3 ABs. But they didn't count Sacrifice Flies back then, so wouldn't the official box score have shown 4 PAs and 4 ABs? So, BB Ref shows that he went 0 for 3 with a SF, but not really, because the SF is not counted as such in his season totals. So that AB is just not counted, even though it was a flyball out. I'm confused. Is this how all SFs are counted on BB Ref before they were an official stat in 1954? If so, why?

So on Sunday Night Football, they just showed that Justin Simmons has the most career interceptions of active players of the same QB after he made his 6th career interception of Patrick Mahomes tonight.

I was trying to find out what the most ever was but I can’t seem to find it out. Is there someone else out there who just had some QB’s number?

Played pro football for a season. Also goes by syd diesel 44 Anyone know anything about him

I just recently found out that BRef retired their Oracle of Baseball tool in May due to a variety of reasons. For those who don’t know, you could input two players from across baseball history and the Oracle would find a chain between them of other players they shared a roster with. Kinda like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Does anyone know of another tool that does this same thing or something similar? I know it’s not a particularly useful tool but I always found it fun to see how many links are between players who played decades apart.

I know that WAR is not simply oWAR + dWAR, but currently has 5.3 oWAR and 0.6 dWAR, giving him an overall WAR of 5, which seems strange to me. I'm not a mathematician so maybe there's an obvious reason for this but can someone explain it to me?

We are thrilled to announce that we have drastically expanded our coverage of WNBA Play-by-Play, as well as statistics derived from Play-by-Play, at . Previously, our Play-by-Play went back to 2016. and our PxP-derived statistics went back to 2018. However, now we have coverage for over 99.7% of games in WNBA history.

This new information appears in several different places. Here's a quick rundown of some places you can find this material:

• Box Scores: For instance, here's the  from June 21, 1997, opening day for the WNBA. You'll notice the box has links for ,  and . Those links are all new for games from 1997-2015 and offer additional context on the events of the game.

• Team Pages: We now have  and  all the way back to 1997. Additionally, we now have team  and  pages back to 1997.

• Season Player Stat Registers:  and  are now populated all the way back to 1997 on these pages, which allow you to compare all of the players in the league for a given season.

• Player Pages: Like team pages,  tables and  tables now have coverage all the way back to 1997. Players also have ,  and  pages back to 1997. While most statistics derived from Play-by-Play are available all the way back to 1997, we currently only have Fouls Drawn statistics populated back to 

Here's a few interesting insights into some of the newly expanded play-by-play based statistics:

• As most are aware,  has had a remarkable season in terms of box score stats. She has also had a unique season in terms of play-by-play based statistics. Her 148 'bad pass' turnovers thus far have blown away the previous record of 84 by  in the WNBA's inaugural season. Meanwhile, her total points generated by assists this season (734) are the third-highest total in WNBA history. The record is 749 by  in 2023.

• Her fellow standout rookie, , meanwhile, has also had some outlier numbers. She has had her shot blocked 76 times this season, shattering the old record of 53 by  in 2003.  has had her shot blocked 72 times this season and could conceivably end up claiming the record since Reese's season is completed. Hamby (355 career shots blocked) could end up breaking 's career record (407) down the line, as well. Despite her issues with getting her shots blocked, Reese has been a highly impactful player, nonetheless. Her 'On-Off' (a measure of many points per 100 possessions better her team is when she is on the floor vs. when she is off the floor) of +18.2 is the .

• 's aggression was key in leading the United States to Gold in Paris. It has also been a critical piece in her 44 'Lost Ball' turnovers this season, which ties 's league record established in 2017. Caitlin Clark has 43 of these, as well, and so could end up claiming this record in addition to her 'bad pass' turnovers record.

• 's 71 shooting fouls committed this season are just 5 shy of the record set by  in 2010.  has also committed 71 shooting fouls thus far this season.

•  has drawn 129 shooting fouls thus far in 2024, putting her on pace to break her own record in this category (133 in 2023). Tracking for this statistic only goes back to 2006.

•  has drawn 34 offensive fouls this season. She could conceivably break 's WNBA-record 38 offensive fouls drawn in 2006. Pierson's 246 career offensive fouls drawn are the most in the era for which we're able to track this stat (since 2006).

Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback!

Using Stathead, I want to see how many games it took for each player to reach 400 home runs. Is this possible?

Have tried looking in the season scrimmage stats table, fantasy stats, and stathead’s season finder tool, but can only seem to find a “touches” category.

Does “opportunities” (rush attempts + targets) exist to search by anywhere?
